Staff Spotlight: Meet Lochie

👋 Hey everyone! My name's Hannah, but you'll know me as Lochie at camp. This is my third summer on staff (my second summer on support staff). This year I will be one of the resident mermaids (waterfront leads) at Lakewood! 🏊‍♀️

Camp for me is a home away from home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and when I am not there I think about it all the time. My favourite thing to do at camp is singing around the campfires or making a pita pizza. 🍕

Staff Spotlight: Meet Oogway

Hola! My name is Keiji, some at Lakewood and Trout know me as Oogway :) I am looking forward to going back to camp, seeing everyone again, and enjoying the summer while making new memories! This will be my second year at Lakewood, I loved being part of the Ropes team and being a counselor for Adventures and Explorers!!!

I'll be helping out as Leadership UM this next summer :) If I can give a hand to anyone, let me know! I love to treat people with kindness and tell you how amazing you are! See you soon.
